ZB Financial Holdings says registration is closed for its SMEs expo and workshop in Harare on June 28-29, 2024 as all slots are filled.

The event to be held at ZB Sports Club, Vainona follows the success of the Bulawayo edition and aims to empower Harare's vibrant SME sector by equipping them with the tools and knowledge necessary to accelerate their growth.

Themed "Accelerating growth of SMEs through financial partnerships," the Expo aligns perfectly with ZBFH's vision of improving lives through service and its commitment to financial literacy. SMEs will benefit from a comprehensive program that includes financial literacy training, guidance on funding options, opportunities to open accounts, and valuable insights on sustainability and market access.

The Expo format offers a multifaceted experience for SMEs. Registered participants will attend an in-depth workshop on financial knowledge and estate planning, while a public SME Exhibition will showcase a wide range of products and services.

Looking beyond financial education, the Expo fosters collaboration and knowledge sharing among SMEs. Industry experts and entrepreneurs will provide valuable insights, aligning with ZBFH's and the National Development Strategy (NDS1)'s goals on sustainability and financial inclusion.

"We are vested in the development of SMEs and financial inclusion," said Dr. Shepherd Fungura, ZB Financial Holdings Group CEO. "This Expo provides a platform for SMEs to gain knowledge, explore funding options, and network with industry leaders. We are committed to supporting SMEs throughout Zimbabwe."

While workshop and exhibition registration is closed due to high demand, the public is encouraged to visit the ZB Sports Club on June 28th and 29th to explore the exhibition.
